When painting goes beyond the canvas
Katharina Grosse is one of today's most radical painters. Her art spills beyond the canvas, claiming entire rooms, buildings, and landscapes with bold color and immersive gesture. Over two years, she met with writer and theologian Klaus Dermutz for a series of in-depth conversations exploring her thoughts on painting, perception, space, and time.
This book brings together ten of these intense dialogues - deeper and more personal than any previous publication. Grosse speaks about visibility and invisibility, repetition and origin, methods and materials, and how painting can be a physical, spatial, and conceptual experience. Unpublished images from her personal archive complement this multifaceted insight into her creative world.
